explained his intention to Liu Biao, Liu Biao obviously agreed to Liu Qi's request without any hesitation, Liu Qi was obviously a little surprised, he didn't expect that his father would agree so happily, but no matter what, this is definitely a good thing for himself, and he can have a place for himself if he masters Jiangxia's soldiers.

After greeting his father, Liu Qi turned around and left, Liu Qi knew that after he left this time, he was afraid that he would not have the opportunity to see his father again, because Cai Mao would never let himself return to Jingzhou again, and even, after his father died, Cai Mao might send troops to attack him.

Looking at the back of Liu Qi leaving, Liu Biao sighed slightly, Liu Biao has been in charge of Jingzhou for so long, why did Liu Qi go to Jiangxia in the way of nature, Liu Biao knew that he owed something to this eldest son, so he naturally wanted to compensate him.

Liu Qi's matter has been solved for the time being, and now let's talk about Liu Bei, Zhuge Liang and others.

"The Cao army will attack sooner or later, and with the passage of time, coupled with Liu Biao's deterioration, the time for the Cao army to attack is gradually approaching, so if you don't plan ahead now, if the Cao army really attacks, our army will face a situation where there is no way out." Zhuge Liang talked about it,

And Liu Bei nodded slightly after hearing Zhuge Liang's analysis, take precautions, Zhuge Liang is really a qualified strategist, indeed, in Jingzhou, Cai Mao's power is monstrous, and he has already planned to get rid of himself, from this point of view, his situation with Liu Qi is obviously almost the same,

Now that Liu Biao is still here, with Liu Biao, with his prestige, Cai Mao will obviously not rashly make a move on himself, but if Liu Biao dies and Liu Cong succeeds to the throne, then Cai Mao's words suddenly become particularly important, after all, with Liu Cong's prestige. Obviously, it can't affect Cai Mao's decision,

Moreover, even if Liu Biao is still here, he is also wary of himself, if Liu Biao really trusts him, how can he let himself be stationed in Xinye. You know, Xinye is the forward post of Cao Jun's way to Jingzhou, if Cao Jun wants to start a war, the first place to attack is Xinye, Liu Biao let himself garrison Xinye, the purpose is to let himself and Cao Jun fight to the death, to win him precious time,

Liu Biao obviously knew the hatred between himself and Cao Jun, and believed that he had no possibility of surrendering to Cao Jun. Therefore, it is definitely the best choice to let yourself be stationed in Xinye City, and he will definitely fight to the end with Cao Jun, and Liu Biao can sit in the rear to reap the benefits of the fisherman.

Through the siege of Xinye City last time, Liu Bei has clearly understood what the relationship between Liu Biao and himself is, if he encounters danger. If you want to wait for Liu Biao's reinforcements, this is obviously a very difficult thing. If you really encounter difficulties, you can only rely on yourself.

Now that there is Liu Qi in Jiangxia, then for Liu Bei, there are reinforcements, and Liu Qi may not necessarily send reinforcements to assist him, but at least. If the Cao army is attacking and Liu Beijun wants to retreat, Liu Bei at least knows that the army should want to withdraw there.

"Jiangxia is adjacent to the Sun clan in Jiangdong, and now the entire Jiangxia County has been occupied by the Sun clan. Only this Jiangxia City is still in the hands of Liu Biao, Liu Qi and Liu Biao have similar temperaments, the two fathers and sons are both defenders of the land, and they have no enterprising heart, so letting Liu Qi stick to Jiangxia is definitely beneficial and harmless. ”

"The Cao army is bound to attack again, with the strength of our army, there is obviously no chance of winning if you want to resist the Cao army, so in order to be able to resist the Cao army, our army must unite with the Jiangdong Sun clan and use the Yangtze River natural danger to block the Cao army." Zhuge Liang shook the goose feather fan in his hand lightly and said loudly,

Listening to Zhuge Liang's words, Liu Biao was obviously quite satisfied, Zhuge Liang's short words, but he completely marked the way he should go, and asked Liu Qi to garrison Jiangxia, which is definitely a good chess hand for Liu Bei, with Jiangxia This important place, Liu Bei can be able to attack and retreat.

"However, the plan often can't catch up with the changes, Xinye is still some distance away from Jiangxia, if our army retreats, the Cao army will definitely not give up our army easily, and our army is full of footsteps, on the other hand, the Cao army has a strong cavalry with strong combat effectiveness, this is strong and weak, our army is at a loss." Liu Bei said helplessly, there are a few war horses by himself, but compared with Cao Jun's war horses, Liu Bei is far behind.

Moreover, it is impossible for Liu Beijun to have horses to ride, except for a few generals, most of the soldiers of the entire Liu Beijun are footsteps, relying on two legs to fight with Cao Jun's fast horse speed, Liu Bei does not think that unless he is crazy, Liu Bei will definitely not let the two of them do this,

However, Liu Bei's question obviously did not hurt Zhuge Liang, but this time he was obviously not as calm as last time, and after a deep sigh, Zhuge Liang said: "This plan is not yet mature, Liang needs time to think, and I hope that the lord can give Liang some time." ”

Liu Bei naturally heard the other meanings in Zhuge Liang's words, but he obviously didn't mean it thoroughly, so he saw Liu Bei nod slightly, and then said in a deep voice: "What Kong Ming said is that this matter is very important, and it naturally needs to be carefully considered. But Liu Bei is somewhat skeptical when he says this, after all, Zhuge Liang knew everything before, and now why Zhuge Liang is so hesitant, is there something unspeakable?

Jingzhou's actions obviously can't escape Cao Jun's secret agents, knowing that he knows that he will not be defeated in a hundred battles, and learned that Liu Qi went to Jiangxia, which made Du Chen frown, Liu Qi went to Jiangxia This is not a good phenomenon, the reason why Liu Qi went to Jiangxia in history is because Zhuge Liang gave him guidance, and now Liu Qi suddenly went to Jiangxia, does that mean that Zhuge Liang has gone out of the mountain and served under Liu Bei, if this is the case, this is not good news for Cao Jun,

With the lineup of Cao Jun now, although Du Chen is not afraid of Zhuge Liang, but Zhuge Liang is a fierce opponent of Cao Jun after all, although Zhuge Liang has been mythologized a lot in later generations, but it cannot be denied that Zhuge Liang's talent must not be underestimated, if you are not careful, the outcome of the battle may change,

"What are you thinking about, can you tell me so that you can share your worries?" Just when Du Chen was thinking deeply, the poisoner Jia Xu beside Du Chen suddenly spoke, and behind Jia Xu was Sima Yi with a respectful face.

After the attack on Shinno did not go well. Du Chen dispatched the two of them from Xu Du, and the reason why he chose Jia Xu and Sima Yi was because when he came to deal with Liu Bei, he had to do everything he could, if he didn't have such courage, with Liu Bei's tenacious vitality. It's hard to get rid of it.

Second, when I think of Liu Bei, I can naturally think of Zhuge Liang, and Sima Yi is a person who has struggled with Zhuge Liang for half his life, if he is there, Zhuge Liang will definitely not escape to any benefit, with the current situation, it is obviously very easy to deal with Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang.

That's when it happened. Xiahoudun walked over and said to Du Chen very respectfully: "Sir, everything is ready, and you can attack Xinye at any time." ”

Hearing Xiahoudun's words, Du Chen nodded slightly, Cao Jun is bound to win Jingzhou, and for Liu Bei, Du Chen will definitely not give him another chance this time. Now, Du Chen decided to use tens of thousands of troops of the Xiahoudun group to encircle Xinye City. This time, Liu Bei must not be allowed to escape again,

The Xiahoudun group army is no less than 50,000 troops, and if the whole army is dispatched, even if Zhuge Liang is resourceful, he still has no way to resist the Cao army, which is more than ten times his size. However, what worries Du Chen is that if the whole army of Cao Jun attacks, will Zhuge Liang and Liu Bei jump off the wall in a hurry?

For Du Chen, the problem he is most worried about is. Under the guise of cherishing the masses, Liu Bei created conditions for his own withdrawal, and the people dragged their families and mouths to go very slowly, but this also happened to form a good separation zone between Liu Beijun and Cao Jun.

In addition to covering their own withdrawal, if the soldiers of the Cao army killed the people in order to pursue Liu Beijun, then the idea of the Cao army wanting to occupy Jingzhou would definitely be shattered, as long as this reputation spread, how could the people of Jingzhou support the rule of the Cao army, as the so-called, only those who win the hearts of the people can get the world,

But this is not that Du Chen doesn't want to and things won't happen, for the movement of Cao Jun's tens of thousands of troops, how can Liu Bei not pay attention, when Cao Jun has a slight movement here, Liu Bei hurriedly called Zhuge Liang, Cao Jun's army is coming, this matter has become Liu Beijun's top priority,

Liu Bei was anxious, but Zhuge Liang obviously didn't look a little anxious, he appeared in front of Liu Bei slowly, seeing Zhuge Liang, Liu Bei's heart suddenly had a backbone, Liu Bei believed that as long as Zhuge Liang was there, Liu Bei believed that Cao Jun's tens of thousands of troops were nothing at all,

However, although Liu Bei thinks so, Zhuge Liang obviously doesn't think so, Cao Jun has nearly 50,000 troops under his command, but Liu Beijun has only five thousand, one to ten, and compared with Cao Jun and other Cao Jun who have strong combat effectiveness, Liu Beijun wants to win, it is obviously very difficult,

Liu Bei knew that if he stuck to Xinye City, Cao's army would inevitably besiege Xinye City, and after the 50,000 troops surrounded Xinye City, Liu Beijun would not have any chance even if he wanted to break through, so Xinye City was bound to be unable to hold it, and Liu Beijun would withdraw his troops to Jiangxia.

Seeing that Zhuge Liang had been silent for a long time and didn't speak, Liu Bei hurriedly asked, "Does Kong Ming have a good way to break the enemy?" Hearing Liu Bei's words, Zhuge Liang shook his head with a wry smile, "The lord really thinks that Liang is an immortal, and in the face of Cao Jun's tens of thousands of troops, what is Liang's best way to break the enemy?" ”

"The Cao army is powerful, and the lord is definitely not the opponent of the Cao army by virtue of Xinye, the target of the Cao army is Jingzhou, so our army should not be entangled with the Cao army in Xinye." Zhuge Liang said in a deep voice, only now there is a chance to withdraw the army, if it is too late, the consequences will be unimaginable,

Zhuge Liang's words are very easy to understand, that is, evacuate Xinye, don't have a head-to-head confrontation with Cao Jun, for Zhuge Liang's plan, Liu Bei couldn't help but shake his head, Liu Bei let himself run away without a fight, if he did this, the morale of Liu Bei's soldiers would definitely suffer a huge blow,

"I also hope that the lord knows that now is not the time to be rash, when Du Chen attacked, 10,000 Cao troops almost conquered Xinye City, and now the strength of the Cao army has increased sharply to five times the original number, does the lord think that under such a gap in strength, he can still hold Xinye City." Zhuge Liang said loudly,

Liu Bei frowned, listening to Zhuge Liang's words, he really thought that withdrawing the army was undoubtedly the best way, but if he fled without a fight, Liu Bei's heart was somewhat unwilling, but Liu Bei obviously couldn't because of his unwillingness, but thinking about the loss of holding the city, Liu Bei finally ordered the withdrawal of the army,

After hearing the news, Guan Yu appeared in front of Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang in a moment, for retreating without a fight, Guan Yu obviously couldn't understand that when the Cao army attacked, the battle was extremely hard. But in the end, it was Liu Beijun who won the victory, so in Guan Yu's opinion, Cao Jun was nothing at all.

Moreover, even if it is to withdraw the army, it is necessary to let Cao Jun know. Liu Beijun will not easily choose to admit defeat, at least have to fight a few battles with Cao Jun, and then talk about the withdrawal of the army, but now, the attack of the Cao army is just a rumor, and Liu Beijun wants to retreat in embarrassment, obviously, this makes Guan Yu very annoyed,

"Cao's army of 50,000 is coming. At the beginning, Du Chen only led an army of 10,000, and our army was no longer his opponent, 50,000 people, what did you and I have to resist? Liu Bei said with some annoyance, mentioning the attack of the Cao army, Liu Bei's heart was obviously a little irritable,

Liu Bei's anger obviously surprised Guan Yu a little, but Guan Yu didn't say anything more. Just looked at Zhuge Liang angrily, and after a while. Guan Yu spoke again and said: "In this case, the eldest brother will give me a thousand soldiers, and I will be responsible for blocking the pursuit of the Cao army." ”

Guan Yu seems to know that there is no possibility of moving the eldest brother, but according to Cao Jun's understanding of Du Chen. Du Chen obviously will not let Liu Bei and his party go easily, he will definitely send Cao Jun's elite troops to pursue Liu Beijun, if no one resists Cao Jun, it won't be long before Cao Jun may catch up with Liu Beijun, and then Liu Beijun will be slaughtered. Without the protection of the city wall, Liu Beijun would not be Cao Jun's opponent.

As soon as Guan Yu's words were finished, Liu Bei rejected Guan Yu's request, and now he only has two generals under his command, Guan Yu and Sun Qian, if Guan Yu has any accidents again, he will face a situation where he has no generals, Liu Bei obviously doesn't want such a thing to happen,

Guan Yu still wanted to persuade his brother, but at this time Zhuge Liang said: "General Guan is a particularly important general in our army, and as a last resort, we will definitely not let the general put himself in danger, I will resist the pursuit of the Cao army, and the lord and the general will retreat." ”

Hearing Zhuge Liang's words, both Liu Bei and Guan Yu were shocked, obviously neither Liu Bei nor Guan Yu thought that Zhuge Liang would say this, the first time he heard this, Liu Bei and Guan Yu denied Zhuge Liang's words together,

However, Zhuge Liang's expression was unquestionably firm, he looked at Liu Bei and Guan Yu, and then said loudly: "Whether it is the lord or General Guan, they all have to lead the army to fight, and I am the only idler, besides me, is there a better person to block the pursuit of Cao Jun?" ”

Zhuge Liang's rhetorical question obviously made Guan Yu and Liu Bei not know how to answer, but Liu Bei's expression was also unquestionable, how much effort did he put into making Zhuge Liang stand out from himself, and now Zhuge Liang is actually going to do such a dangerous thing, Liu Bei naturally can't camp,

Guan Yu also objected to Zhuge Liang's opinion, for Guan Yu, Zhuge Liang was just a literati, and it was a joke to let him command the army to fight, and a literati also wanted to command the army to fight, just laughing,

Seeing Liu Bei's resolute attitude, Zhuge Liang finally compromised: "If the lord is not at ease, how about leaving General Sun Qian to Liang?" ”

Zhuge Liang's words finally made Liu Bei nod, with Sun Qian's protection, at least he can protect Zhuge Liang safely, "There is one more thing, the lord who Liang wants to ask for consent?" Seeing that Liu Bei finally agreed, Zhuge Liang spoke again, this time his expression was a little strange, which made Liu Bei's heart faintly uneasy,

"Kong Ming, but it doesn't hurt to say." Liu Bei said in a deep voice, although he didn't know what Zhuge Liang wanted to say, but looking at Zhuge Liang's expression, what he was going to say must be unimportant, otherwise, Zhuge Liang would not have to look so solemn.

"Cao Jun is ferocious, when the battle of Xuzhou was fought, Cao Jun had the idea of slaughtering the people in the city, if it wasn't for Du Chen, I'm afraid it would be ......, and today Cao Jun is attacking again, obviously he will not let go of the people in the city, leaving the people in the city will inevitably be slaughtered by the Cao army, we can't let the people go." Zhuge Liang pondered for a moment, and finally said,

After Zhuge Liang's words were finished, Liu Bei immediately understood Zhuge Liang's intentions, no wonder Zhuge Liang would be so cautious, what he said was actually this matter, it was obvious that Zhuge Liang's intention was to mobilize all the people of Xinye City and evacuate with Liu Beijun.

Just after Liu Bei made a decision, the most shocking news came out of the people of Xinye, there was news that the Cao army was preparing to attack in a big way, and this time it was really menacing, because many people were rumoring that if the Cao army conquered Xinye this time, he would order the slaughter of the city.

When they first heard the news, the people of Xinye City were shocked, they obviously didn't expect that Cao Jun would actually give an order to slaughter the city, for this news, the people of Xinye City believe it, and some don't believe it, after all, although it is a troubled time, there has almost never been a phenomenon of slaughtering the city,

Of course, there are two sides to everything, some people don't believe in it, but some people are convinced of it, after all, Cao Jun had the idea of wanting to slaughter the city, when the battle of Xuzhou was in place, although Cao Jun did not slaughter the city, but also killed a lot of Xuzhou people,

Moreover, the rumors are conclusive, saying that Cao Jun did not admit the shame of the last defeat, so he ordered the slaughter of the city to be humiliated, and this news gradually won the belief of the people of Xinye City, after all, this thing is said as if it is true, and it is not allowed for others not to believe it.

As the so-called three people become tigers, such rumors are intensifying, and Liu Beijun in Xinye City has been prepared to withdraw the army, which makes the people in Xinye City unable to sit still, Liu Beijun actually wants to flee without a fight, which makes the people in the city confused, and they don't know what to do.

Through Liu Beijun's actions, the people in the city knew that the Cao army was indeed preparing to attack, and Liu Bei obviously knew that the Zijun was not his opponent, and he planned to flee without a fight, and the people in Xinye City were quite shocked, but they firmly believed that Liu Bei, who was known for his benevolence, Liu Huangshu, would never let the people of Xinye City go.

Sure enough, just when the news of Cao's massacre of the city intensified, the soldiers under Liu Bei's command finally came out to explain that the Cao army was attacking in a big way, and Liu Beijun knew that it was difficult to resist Cao's tens of thousands of troops, so he planned to withdraw his troops towards Xiangyang, and considering the ferocity of Cao's army, Liu Bei hoped that the people of Xinyecheng would withdraw with Liu Beijun, (to be continued......)
